Conway Twitty, the quintessential country crooner, has left an indelible mark on the genre with his emotionally charged ballads.
Background
The lyrics, penned by the legendary Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees, are imbued with a poetic beauty that transcends the boundaries of country music.
Yet, the song is not merely a wallow in despair. It is a testament to the enduring power of love. The repeated refrain, “Rest your love on me,” is a promise of steadfast support and unwavering loyalty.
It is a plea for trust, a declaration of faith in the relationship.

Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Maybe you don’t know me any more than I know youAnd I wouldn’t blame you if you walked awayI’ve been watching you all evening with those teardrops in your eyesAnd it touches me much more that I can sayYou know I hate to think that someoneCould have hurt someone like youAnd if I was him I’d be right by your sideLay your troubles on my shoulderPut your worries in my pocketRest your love on me a whileLay your troubles on my shoulderPut your worries in my pocketRest your love on me a whileSaw you in the corner from the moment I walked inSaw your lonely face across the roomNo I won’t forget you and the way it could have beenWhy’d you have to leave so soonYou know I hate to think there’s someoneYou loved instead of me‘Cause at times like thisI’d be right by your side
